The Garbage Question.

The proposition of Alderman Thomas
that the city shall undertake the work of
removing its garbage is worthy of careful
consideration. The work is now done by
contract, and it costs the city very con-
siderable amount Alderman Thomas does
not say that the city can do the work for
less money than il is now being done, but
he does say that the city, if it has the neces-
sary plant, can do great many things that
would add to its attractiveneSs and health
fulness that are not now done, and that,too,
without additional expense
Doubtless Alderman Thomas is prepared
to show the Council that it is to the city's
interest to accept his proposition. What
ever is best for the city should of course,
be DONE Mr. Thomas has always shown
himself to be a cear-headed man of bust
ness and, doubtless, has studied the garbage
question very thoroughly. Before the pub
lie can have an opinion. however as to the
advisability of making the proposed change
it will be necessary to have NJ Thomas
proposition stated a little more fully. The
city, of course, would have to expend quite
large sum at once for the plant
aud it would be necessary perhaps to
hire some one at a pretty good salary to di-
rect the work and look after the city's prop
erty. Unless the laborers were required to
be little more energetic than laborers usu-
ally are who are IN the employment of mu-
nicipal corporations, it would take more
men to remove the city's garbage than are
at present employed in that work
Il - ~
the city were all under cultivation the gar
bage question would be much simpler. The
farmers and gardeners would be glad to
have the refuse matter of the city for COM
post, and perhaps would remove it for that
purpose with very little cost to the city. 1t
will be some years, however, before the city
will have the chance to consider PROPOSE
ton to remove its garbage for what it is
worth.
Mr.. Thomas proposition should be given
very thorough consideration, and if it
possesses the merit which, at first thought,
it seems to have, it should be adopted

AN ACTRESS, $4,000 STREET SUIT.
Snugly Clothed from Head to Foot in
Glossy Sealskin.
From the omaha Herald.

From the Omaha Herald.
II was az the fall and winter opening OF one
of the most fashionable firms in town The inn
mense show room was crowded with several
score of the gildei and dimpled darlings of New
YORK Nearly all were leaders of fashion, and
at least four could draw their checks for $1,000,
600 each Money was no object to them. They
came TO see what was new in furs. They stood
in front of and around a beautifully formed
young woman. She was perfect picture. She
was tall. straight as an arrow, and ooaed every
inch queen. She was clothed from head TO
foot in SealSkin The skirt or dress was entirely
of sealSkn A half dozen buttons, covered
with the same fur, were the only ornament in
front The bottom was trimmed with wide
band of Russian sable. The back was per
fectly plain with the exception OF niue
drapery near the waist. The basque was tight
fitting, and was fastened with small Seelskin
buttons Ii came up closely 10 the neck, where
magnificent bar pin, containing half dozen
diamonds, held it together. A quaint little
bonnet of sealskin completed the outfit. The
hair was of pure gold, and was done up in a
coil in front, in much the same style that Mrs.
Cleveland affects. Handsome solitaires de
pended from the ears The womln's face was
beautiful. She was, indeed, a piCt ire, and did
not blame the ladies for gazing at her-some of

"You win see. ladies, said the gentleman, in

The sub.Trop,cal Exposition.

The managers of the Suh-Tropical Expo
stion, at Jacksonville, are meeting with
some financial difficulties. They expected
that Duval county, in which the exposition
! is located, would contribute $1,000 to assist
in preparing the exhibit of that county and
| in advertising its resources They
! had every reason to think their
programme in this regard would be
complied with 1t seems, however, that
the County Commissioners are OF the
opinion that they have no authority to
make such an appropriation.
If they really want to make the appropria-
ton they ought to be very sure that the
law is against them before they refuse it,
If they are hesitating because they are IN
doubt only on the point whether
it would be wise to use the
county funds for such purpose, let them
consult public sentiment and be guided by
it. What the public sentiment is they can
soon find out by calling a mass meeting. If
the expression is in favor of making the
appropriation they viii be relieved from
all responsibility. If in the future their
action should be questioned they could very
readily say that they did only what the peo-
pie wished.
There can be no doubt that if $1,000 is
appropriated and wisely spent the benefits
which the county will receive will be
worth far more than that sum. In fact, the
margin OF profit on the money that will
be left in Jacksonville by visitors to the fair
will be ten or twenty times that sum.
There is another thing that must he taken
into consideration. 1t is that if Duval con-
tributes nothing other counties will follow
her example, and the exposition, instead of
being the success which it ought TO be, will
be comparative failure. In that case
Jacksonville will lose great deal more than
$4,000.
OF course, if the County Commissioners
refuse to make an appropriation the bust
ness men of Jacksonville must put their
hands down deep iuto their pockets. They
are going TO be benefited very greatly by
the exposition if the promises with respect
to it are kept They must see to it that
they are kept, and they can do that only by
advancing the necessary money. The expo
sition has already been widely advertised,
and thousands of people outside of Florida
expect to visit it. Jacksonville, and, in
fact, the whole State of Florida must see to
it that they are not disappointed

To siphon Lake Tahoe.

From the Virqiaid city Enterprise.
S. R. Mathewson, an expert civil engineer,
has been looking over the situation in this
State relating to practical irrigation of unre-
claimed land, The Reno Gazette reports him as
saving that he believes there is enough water in
Lake Tahoe to irrigate l,000,0O acres, or all the
available land in Western Nevada. But he
doesn't believe in running a tunnel four or five
miles to tap the lake. He believes that the
water can he taken ont of the lake with an iron
Siphon. and at one-twentieth of the expense.
The sphon need not he more than mile and a
half long The difference IN the elevation of
Lake Tahoe and Carson valley being some
what more than 400 feet, the power generated
would be equal to not less that 10000 horse
power.
This same principle could be applied not only
to Carson valley, but to Truckee Meadows,
Mason valley, and all other valleys in the
vicinity. By a series of check valve motions the
water could be taken out of the siphon any,
where between the highest point on the lake
and the lowest in the valley. By the use of this
enormous water pressure all kinds Of manu-
factdring establishments could be started, and
the land OF sand and sagebvush might not only
be made to bloom and blossom, but be covered
with manufacturing villages as in New England.
Mr.. Mathewson says it is only question of time
when something of this kind will be done to re-
claim all of our Nevada lands

A Chinese Idiot Leads Tiger Captive.
From the TTentsin Chinese Times


There is page serving the Taoi,t priest in a
certain temple which is situated on a mountain
of considerable height in Canton When he first
came to the priests he was in destitute circum-
stances, and the priests, seeing his need, took
him into their temple TO light candles and in
cense which were brought by the worshpers to
be offered to the gods. He was faithful to his
post, and was never known to be absent for a
single day since his admission Whatever be the
weather he never wears cotton clothes, but
sort of grass cloth made from "A homegrown
plant He is commonly called an idiot because
he is always mumbling something only intelli-
gible to himself. He sleeps ia nothing but
mat both winter and summer. One day the
priests said in Jest to him that certain farmer
had lost two oxen, which, while grazing on the
mountain, were eaten up by Il large tiger.
Would he have strength and courage TO capture
that fierce aninalt The idiot replied in the
Affirmative, and at once began TO gather grass
with which he twisted rope, and set out on his
tiger hunting expedition. After a days abb
sence to the great surprise of the priests, he
returned, leading a tiger by the rope hitched
around the creatures neck. He patted, culfed,
whipped and fondled the dreaded animal which
was afterward let loose.

Her father was against the marriage set:
He did not like the youth; that's what he said
But as they loved, they oft in secret met,
And to elope they both determined
But pa suspected, and he kept an eye,
keen espionage upon the pair;
They knew Il, and the maid began to sigh,
And NOPE and fret the lover to despair,
But fate is fate, the orientals say.
And this, just now, we're not inclined to

When lovers have resolved Is run away,
There's something will occur to help them out.

The Western Unions New Rival

1t was stated in our dispatches yesterday
that the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany had issued $5,000,O00 of new stock,
and that the entire stock of the company
was now about $50, 000, 900 The proceeds
of the new stock will doubtless be used to
pay for the Baltimore and Ohio telegraph
line which the Western Union recently pur.
chased.
The Western Union will have TO send q
great many messages TO meet its expenses
and pay good dividend npon IT'S itnrense
amount of stock IL has now, however,
almost a monopoly of the telegraph bust
ness of the country and will be able to OBJ
tain better prices than when it had the
competition of the Baltimore and Ohio.
1t is not certain, however, that it win
continue to have the field almost wholly to
itself There is a report that number of
capitalists in Baltimore are organizing a
telegraph company, and that it is their pur-
pose to make it a rival of the Western
Union. 1t is said that the amount necessary
to begin the building of lines has been sub
scribed, and that there is every reason to be-
lieve that the necessary means to connect
with their lines all the important places in
the country will be easily obtained.
There may be some foundation for this
report, but the Western Union has now be-
come so strong that it would require many
millions of dollars to equip competing lines
and conduct them until they were placed
upon a profitable basis. One competitor
after another has disappeared, aud it would
be more difficult now than ever before to
successfully establish a rival line. 1t is
probable, however, that the Baltimore
capitalists have canvassed the situation
thoroughly and feel certain of success

Representative Herbert, of Alabama, is
not in favor of establishing a government
telegraph line, and a good many thinking
people will agree that his head is quite level.
This is what he says; We had better put
up while longer with the present evil and
endeavor to fipd remedy than to adopt q
measure that may III the end prove a greater
monopoly There would be no competition.
Jay Gould could not compete with The gov
ernmeat and he would be forced to sell out
at q reasonable price If we established a
postal telegraph it would create at least
$4,000 more Office holders, and in less than
two years the number would be double
Just imagine what force that would give
the party in power Then, again, saying
that the government should take the tele-
graph, the next step would be to control the
railroads 1t is this policy in France
that prevents that republic from being
republic in the true meaning of the
word. The policy of the government con-
trolling the telegraphs, railroads, subs-
dizing the opera houses preachers, art, etc.
is the legacy left the French people by
Louis XIV. We must keep our individu-
atty, and to do that we must guard against
every increase of power to the government.
